Trial summary

Despite the availability of highly effective endoscopy-based and computed tomography (CT)-based biopsy procedures, up to 50% of patients with advanced lung cancer potentially eligible for targeted therapies or immunotherapy do not have access to a diagnosis or to a thorough molecular profiling for different reasons.

About this study

Official title: Mutational Profile of Patients With and Without Neck and Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes Metastasis From Advanced Non-squamous Non-small-cell Lung Cancer: a Prospective Cohort Study

Despite the availability of highly effective endoscopy-based and computed tomography (CT)-based biopsy procedures, up to 50% of patients with advanced lung cancer potentially eligible for targeted therapies or immunotherapy do not have access to a diagnosis or to a thorough molecular profiling for different reasons. Enlarged and/or positron emission tomography (PET) positive cervical/supraclavicular lymph nodes (CSLs) are ideal targets for a minimally invasive diagnosis of lung cancer through a percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy (US-NAB). However, the prevalence of metastatic involvement of CSLs in patients with advanced lung cancer was never specifically assessed. Furthermore, the possible association of malignant CSLs involvement with molecular status was never investigated, unlike what was done for several other metastatic sites.

Being tested
Needle or forceps biopsy of cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes, Needle, forceps or surgical biopsy of any lesion other than cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Needle or forceps biopsy of cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodesProcedure or surgery

    Also called Ultrasound guided biopsy

    Patients with evidence of enlarged and/or PET positive cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes suspected of being metastasis from lung cancer will be submitted to the biopsy from this location.

  • Needle, forceps or surgical biopsy of any lesion other than cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodesProcedure or surgery

    Also called Ultrasound guided biopsy, Forceps biopsy during bronchoscopy, Surgical biopsy

    Patients without evidence of enlarged and/or PET positive cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes will be submitted to the biopsy considered less invasive and effective based on imaging data and clinical health status.

Control groupPatients with advanced lung cancer NOT featuring cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph node metastasis
Receives: Procedure: Needle, forceps or surgical biopsy of any lesion other than cervical and/or supraclavicular lymph nodes

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of KRAS mutation

    Number of participants with KRAS mutation in the 2 groups (patients with and without cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis)

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Prevalence of EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, RET, MET, NTRK

    Number of participants with EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, RET, MET, NTRK mutation in the 2 groups (patients with and without cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis)

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Tumor proportion score of PD-L1

    Number of participants with a tumor proportion score of PD-L1 < 1%; 1-50%; >50% in the two groups (patients with and without cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis)

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Prevalence of cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis

    Number of participants with cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis in the whole cohort of patients with stage IV lung cancer

    Measured: 2 months

  4. Predictors of cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis

    Association between the presence of cervical/supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and the following factors: age, sex, smoking habit, tumor histologic type, central vs peripheral primary tumor, enlarged and/or PET positive N2 or N3 lymph nodes in the middle mediastinum, and molecular profile.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of KRAS mutation (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Apr 2024.
